Passed test

I passed my last WREB exam couple weeks ago. Now I'm burned out and need some rest and relaxation. Coming home in a couple weeks for SF's Chinese New Year Parade on Feb 27. Should be fun. Weather is dreary here as usual. Temps in the low 50's which is really warm for Feb. Jan supposedly set record warm temps being the warmest ever or something.

Work is going ok. Went to cousin Kenny's for Superbowl Sunday. I was nice (nay dumb) enough to buy pizza for everyone. Garlic Jim's is pretty good, but pricey. I really didn't care much for the game, though I did have the winner picked (Saints). There were way too many people rooting for the Colts and there was no way the Colts were going to run the Saints off the field. For one, the Colts never really blew anyone out during the regular season. In fact, Manning orchestrated what was it? At least 3 if not more come from behind wins in the 4th Quarter which means they were often down.

Also, factor in the fact that Dwight Freeney, their premier pass rusher wasn't 100% and that was a factor in the game. That's their whole M.O., give pass happy Manning the ball and sack the other team's QB. Well, if you can't sack the other QB then Manning can't get the ball. Brees's passing attack wasn't even that scary. All his completions were short to medium duration. He never completed any deep passes so there was no reason for the defense to be scared of the deep threat. All they had to do was stack everyone in the box to cut off the short passes. But unfortunately Indy allowed the most pass completions of 10 yards during the regular season which tells me that they will allow tons of short passes, but when it comes to the red zone or big time situations they generally don't allow the other team to score.

I think the Colts were probably a better team than the Saints overall, but not by much. And to think there would be a blowout I think is dumb. The Saints were damn good through the season. Their win over Arizona was underrated. Kurt Warner is a monster. To get through them and Minnesota speaks volumes.
